The mural is an actual depression era mural you can find in the Bay Minette post office about that one time a bunch of folk from Bay Minette had to go to Daphne to steal all the county records at night because Daphne wouldn't give up the county seat. Alabama is weird.

Additional Information

In ancient times,
To a place so far away,
Across the land,
Where the earth was as tough as clay,
Looked at their hands,
Looked all around,
And they seemed pleased,
At what they had found.

Here in the valley,
Bread on the table,
Work through the day,
For as long as we are able,
Green is the valley,
Blue is the night,
Out of the shadows,
Into the light.

Valley - Los Lobos

Depression era mural depicting the forced consolidation of the ASCI and the Silver Sun Organization. Historical records should instead indicate this event involved the forced removal of the county seat and county records from Daphne, Alabama to Bay Minette.

Maybe that's too far back. But hey maybe the Foundation wants to know about the deep dark evil hiding in the woods down here? Nah. It's still sleeping like a big ol' baby. Lemme tell you about how the Foundation got started meddling instead:

In the late 1800's the American Secure Containment Initiative3 built the first containment facility in the state of Alabama in Bay Minette, Baldwin County. Several conflicts with other precursor Foundation organizations were resolved through the eventual consolidation of all anomalous objects and research at the Bay Minette facility for the greater gulf region.

From 1933 to 1946 the Gulf Region was a major flashpoint during the Second Global Occult War. Due to global memory alteration and reality restructuring resulting from the end of that conflict, the full extent of ASCI involvement has yet to be fully understood. The erasure of the New Paris peninsula from the timeline during this conflict led to the Bay Minette facility becoming the largest containment facility in the American Southeast.

The period following the conclusion of the Second GOW until the Foundation's formation in the early 1950's was limited to re-containing objects capable of causing similar widespread destruction. However, the increasing volume of anomalies contained at the Bay Minette facility began to strain both the storage capacity of the site and the secrecy of the project.

Looks pretty welcoming.

In the late 1960s, the Foundation began to explore options to expand the Bay Minette facility. However, due to increased urbanization and telecom capacities, it was deemed an unacceptable security risk to expand the facility any further in a populated area. The construction of the current facilities at Site-88 were begun in 1968 and completed in 1970.

From 1981 to 2011, the site was run by Dr. Malcolm Maddox4. Following the end of Dr. Maddox's employment, the site was placed under the administration of Dr. Phillip Foster. Site containment breaches have gone down approximately 24%5 yearly under the new administration.

See. Now that wasn't so bad. I like a little history. Now, I'm gonna level with y'all: I've had a good time here so far. For a shadowy pseudo-governmental organization you ain't half bad. You live as long as I have, though, and you know things are only gonna get worse, not better. Tell Yolanda and Carl I'm sorry, but I need to get getting on. Gotta see a man about a lady.
